What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Berry's Green, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
A chip van compared with other options
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot, so the batter is still crisp. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.
Why Berry's Green hosts choose us
- A van that becomes part of the event
- A clear quote before you book
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
